Wonderful glossy 10 x 8 Apple Records / Capitol Records publicity photo of John Lennon smiling and seated on a rooftop wall in New York City, an image originally taken by photographer Bob Gruen on August 29, 1974, signed nicely in the lower border in black ballpoint, “John Lennon, 75.” The upper border features the text, “Listen To This Photo.,” and the lower border bears a facsimile signature. In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing, and some streaking in the image that is inherent to the original negative.
Lennon created the “Listen to This…” advertising campaign for the release of his fourth studio album, Walls and Bridges, which was issued by Apple Records on September 26, 1974, in the United States, and on October 4th in the United Kingdom. The tagline appeared on all manner of merchandise, from buttons, photos, stickers, posters, and T-shirts, to even showing up on the backs of some 500 New York City buses, all of which featured the slogan ‘Listen To This Bus.’
